[Experimental surgical model of hydrocele for the use of sclerotherapy].
Sclerosant therapy for different pathological conditions (testicular hydrocele, pneumothorax) is a little known and scantily used procedure in the clinical setting. We have developed a surgical procedure in the dog that permits reproducing adult hydrocele. This experimental model is useful for morphometric assessment of the sclerosant effects of the commonly used agents (magnesium silicate hydrate, carbolic acid, ethanolamine oleate, hydroxytetracycline chlorhydrate and quinacrine chlorhydrate). Our results show that the degree of sclerosis achieved with quinacrine and hydrotetracycline is significantly superior to that obtained with other agents.
